New slasher design
As long as Australia’s farmers have had access to a tractor with a power take-off, a rotary slasher has been the first attachment of choice, according to Silvan Australia.
The team at Silvan Australia has taken a new look at slasher design, and the new Silvan Medium Duty Australian designed and manufactured slasher range has just been released.
Available initially in two models with working widths of 1.47 m and 1.77 m, they are the ideal match behind tractors of up to 75 hp with Category I or II three-point linkage. Either version is connected to the tractor with the choice of a centre or offset mount of up to 200 mm.
The Silvan Medium Duty Slasher range is based on the new unique shape of the 5 mm thick hot-dip galvanised steel deck which, with its clean angled design, will not allow moisture or the slashed material to accumulate on the surface and eventually create rust.
The gearbox and power take-off shaft driveline is a high quality BareCo unit and is supplied with fully compliant guarding of the moving parts and has a twoyear warranty.
There is also a 250 mm two-plate friction clutch that gives further mechanical protection if an immovable object is struck.
The hitch for attachment to the tractor linkage points also readily folds down.
The BareCo gearbox drives a three-leaf rotor bar fitted with hardened bushes to which two Boron steel twist lift blades are fixed. ➤ For more information, phone Silvan on 1300 745 826 or email: info@silvanaust.com
